The debut novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Son, which is now an AMC original TV series Set in a beautiful but economically devastated Pennsylvania steel town, American Rust is a novel of the lost American dream and the desperation--as well as the acts of friendship, loyalty, and love--that arise from its loss. From local bars to trainyards to prison, it is the story of two young men, bound to the town by family, responsibility, inertia, and the beauty around them, who dream of a future beyond the factories and abandoned homes. Left alone to care for his aging father after his mother commits suicide and his sister escapes to Yale, Isaac English longs for a life beyond his hometown. But when he finally sets out to leave for good, accompanied by his temperamental best friend, former high school football star Billy Poe, they are caught up in a terrible act of violence that changes their lives forever. Evoking John Steinbeck's novels of restless lives during the Great Depression, American Rust takes us into the contemporary American heartland at a moment of profound unrest and uncertainty about the future. It is a dark but lucid vision, a moving novel about the bleak realities that battle our desire for transcendence and the power of love and friendship to redeem us. Newsweek's list of "Best. Books.

This book really helped me understand my true self and navigate life with a clearer sense of purpose. The exercises and reflections were useful for connecting with my values and passions, and they encouraged me to live more authentically. It’s been a great tool for personal growth, and I feel more aligned with my identity. If you’re looking to deepen your self-awareness and live a more purposeful life, I highly recommend it.

Eye opening and powerful
Format: Kindle
TD Jakes gives great insight into who we are and how to find purpose in this book. His illustrations and insights into the lives of Elisha and Elijah are really good. His focus on doing well where we are and being faithful in our current season were just what I needed to hear. If you need motivating for the next season of your life or if you are struggling to get to the next season of your life, this book will help you I'm sure.
